Stop Motion Animation on the iPad

Another fun project I am SUPER excited to try this year is stop motion animation using the iPad.  There are a ton of free apps out there; I tried MyStopAction.

not a brilliant example of the cinematic arts, I know - I was JUST PRACTICING!  The onion skin feature was essential to this working at all - I could also loop the video to make him wave more than 2 seconds...

Other apps allow you to draw right in the program - again, the onion skin feature is super important.  One of these programs is DoInk, which Tricia Fugelstad uses beautifully!

I would love to try some simple animation using the white-board or collage - maybe even work our way into clay-mation!!  so fun....
